I am a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Life Coach, who works with you as an individual to meet your specific needs. I keep client numbers low to really get to know you and work with your specific needs.

I mostly use Counselling Skills, Mindfulness, CBT, and Solution Focused Therapy to help you achieve the results and outcomes you want and need. You set the goals. You have control. We can make a plan and set goals for your bespoke needs.. We can work at your pace, in bite sized chunks. No pressure. No deadlines. But I will check in with you to see how you are and remind you to complete worksheets or read relevant articles and give feedback on these. These help you to develop awareness and tools for coping and managing life and life's issues. They enable you to take steps forward rather than remaining stuck or struggling.

I am friendly warm and approachable, so you need not worry, you are in safe hands.

***If you cant see a time slot that works for you just ask for a suitable day/time that works for you and I will do my best to accommodate it. No problem. ***

I have additional Diplomas in in ADHD. Autism. Attachment theory. Bereavement. Borderline Personality Disorder. Bipolar Disorder. Couples Counselling. Inner Child Healing. Life Coaching. Mindfulness. Narcissism. Perinatal Mental Health and Young Peoples mental health.

I have 16 years experience of working with women and women's health issues- encompassing anxiety, depression, low self esteem, stress and body image, well as work problems, family life and relationship issues.

My speciality (coming from a midwifery background) is in Fertility difficulties, Pregnancy, Baby loss and Birth trauma.

I am currently completing the Foundation for Infant Loss Practitioner training and fertility specialist training. I am also an experienced Bereavement Counsellor.

I worked as a Nurse and Midwife prior to becoming a counsellor and I understand the pain women feel when they are struggling to become pregnant or have lost a baby and how that might impact upon their relationship or feelings about themselves or their partners. I can help you to improve your communication skills and to reconnect with your partner. I also work with couples.

I understand the trauma of baby loss and birth trauma, how hard it can be to talk to friends and family, how difficult it can be to be honest with them, how you may need to explore things that you don't want to share with those close to you and how you may need to talk to a professional independently, in order to do that. You do not need to be alone with your pain.

I understand the struggles of new parent hood and of breastfeeding, postnatal depression and self doubt, exhaustion and sleepless nights.

So often women who experience birth trauma and difficult deliveries, feel they have no one to talk to about this.

Sometimes new dads feel the birth has left them traumatized too, I understand this and can help you process your thoughts and feelings, I can give you the time and space you need to talk through these issues in confidence, help you with practical ideas and support you through a difficult time.

New parenthood can be a difficult time, there are a lot of new adjustments and it changes the dynamics of a relationship - we can explore this.

As a nurse and have worked with people experiencing health anxieties and with ladies experiencing menopausal problems, hot flushes, frustrations and feelings of anger, anxiety and low confidence. As well as brain fog and cognitive issues. Talking about these experiences can really help, as so often we stay silent and suffer alone.

You may be suffering a life limiting illness and want to talk through the things which worry you about the future or need help to plan the end you want. But don't feel able to discuss this with loved ones.

I have worked with a National Bereavement Service and understand your feelings of grief, anticipatory grief, as well as bereavement.

I can help you to process those feelings and understand grief and offer ways to help you through it.

If you have lost a loved one I can help you to live with the love that is left behind and to process your thoughts and feelings in a healthy and healing way.

I am a kind, warm and caring person and counsellor. You can talk to me in confidence and will feel safe and at ease. So what are you waiting for? Reach out today and let me help you on your journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Clients mention: Supportive Helping Understanding Wonderful Thank you The best Helped Listens Support Best therapist

She is the best therapist on the planet and really takes time to listen and be there for you like family.

Tina has been a great help, listening and helping me become a better more balanced person

She’s the best therapist in the world and really cares about people

Tina has been a lifeline over the last few months, she responds to my messages and journal entries promptly, always with reassuring words and insights. She has sent me some useful worksheets to help me explore different issues and is able to create a relaxed and safe atmosphere during video calls. I really appreciate all her help and support.

So far, speaking with Tina has been really comforting. She responds very quickly and sends lots of worksheets which I greatly appreciate. Tina is really accommodating to my schedule and finds me times that are convenient. I would highly recommend.

I have had 3 sessions with Tina. She really listens and understands. She has already got me to rethink things that have stuck with me for so long. I have had automatic negative thoughts for so many years and I can feel those thoughts changing now

Tina is the best therapist ever

Tina is a kind, attentive, and wonderfully supportive therapist. I look forward to each session - as well as the worksheets - as they provide so much for me to consider and learn from.

When I signed up to BetterHelp I was skeptical: I didn't think that therapy would actually change and improve my life, but I discovered soon enough that I was wrong! Tina guided me through a journey that was rich of personal discoveries, growth and self-awareness. She is always kind and supportive! She often sends me messages to check in on me and shares insightful sheets full of techniques that help me navigate through hardships. My life has improved drastically since I started my sessions with her and now I feel better equipped to face the obstacles and challenges that life will throw at me. I'm really grateful to have her as my therapist!

Tina has been absolutely wonderful, she has helped me through an extremely difficult time in my life and helped me achieve my goals - I have started to love my life and myself again and become so much happier than I ever thought possible at the start of my journey. Tina is very supportive but not pushy, she is understanding, easy to talk to and she listens to you and understands your needs and knows how to help you get through it. Thank you Tina.

Tina is very supportive and affirming that I’m doing the best I can and she eases a lot of anxieties I’ve been dealing with.

tina is the most incredible therapist i have ever worked with. she is patient, and warm and loving and also gets right to the root of the problem. she is someone that i look up to in regards to her methods in therapy and i can really see the difference in myself from having worked with her. i feel so lucky to have found her!

Tina is wonderful! incredibly patient with me particularly as I came to therapy for support with a life change and emotional trauma from a previous relationship and we have moved into various other topics over the months depending on what comes up. Tina really listens, playing back to me things I’ve said previously or themes. appropriately challenges and suggests tools to try without being prescriptive or leading me down certain paths.

Tina is a wonderful warm person who always seems to know how to support and care for you. Our therapy sessions are very recent but I am very happy with how things are going!

Tina is always very supportive and I really appreciate the fact that she often checks in with me and actively asks about my well-being in between sessions. She is able to guide me step by step in those areas that I struggle and need help with, and she does so with unending compassion, understanding and empathy. I feel like I can open up to and trust her completely, I recommend her to anyone who wants to start therapy

Tina helped me look deeper into my issues. And gave me tools to use in my life. I would like to say thank you to her for listening.

Tina is a very good listener , each time we chat over the phone I always feel like she leaves me with somethings to take onboard until the next time we chat.

Tina has been an incredible help to me whilst I've been dealing with new symptoms of anxiety and depression over the past 6 months - I cannot thank her enough for the difference she has made to my life. I finally feel like myself again! Thank you Tina

Tina she s an amazing person and therapist, very helpful with all my problems

Tina has been wonderful in helping me through some marital and personal issues. She is quick to respond, amazing during video sessions, gives me lots to work on and think about, whilst being fair and understanding.

Tina is helping me through my issues and is really understanding and has a calming presence

Very compassionate listener. Gives options of ways to proceed without dictating any specific actions.
